Yap/Palau 2020

Mid-winter is a good time to escape to warmer surroundings, so I spent almost three weeks over January and into February in Micronesia. This was the reverse of a trip I made almost 10 years ago. So after a night spent in Guam, the first destination was the island of Yap, part of the Federated States of Micronesia. We had good shark action, but the mantas were being a bit shy this week. Perhaps due to the high winds we experienced all week?

After a week in Yap, it was off to Palau and a week onboard the Palau Aggressor II. Just about perfect weather all week and the diving lived up to Palau's reputation. This made up for my previous trip there, when we experienced almost constant rain. One of our dives in German Channel goes down as one of my top five dives ever. Hope you enjoy the photos below as well as a short video of various fish activities. I don't consider myself a videographer, but it's fun to shoot video a little.
